Gaming: Upcoming Xgimi Mogo 4 Laser Projector Review
The MoGo 4 Laser runs on versatility and vibes. It's a nomadic take on a stylish, mid-range gaming projector that trades high-power chops for exceptionally nimble, everyday use. You'll need to run it in the dark, but its ability to shift modes to suit any mood is unparalleled in the projector space, and it's backed by an impressive ability to handle keystone in gaming mode.

When Xgimi released the MoGo 4 Laser projector, a little light switched on in my brain. Three, actually. This versatile little tri-laser beamer seeks to follow your lead, and light up your life with a cornucopia of practical portability features. I wouldn't say you're looking at a projector as much as you're looking at a technological druid packing the Wild Shape spell.
In all my years of reviewing tech it's become painfully clear that a plentiful feature set usually points to at least a couple of small caveats. No projector could possibly nail everything expected of it, especially with a price so reasonable. There's nothing glaringly wrong to note while unpacking this stylish little machine, unless the curved, retro look offends you terribly. So let's get into where the MoGo 4 Laser projector excels, and where it's maybe a little less effective.
Now, I love a transformer. Any piece of tech that can shift from projector, to soundbar, to fancy lightshow with the flick of some far-out mechanism gives me a palpable dopamine hit. That's what Xgimi is pandering to with the MoGo 4 Laser: tech fiends with a penchant for adaptable equipment. At any moment, a swift attachment of one of the MoGo 4 Laser's magnetic creative filters will see your room bathed in cosmic lighting. While other portable projectors I've tested like the Xgimi Halo also offer the option to go sans-visuals, none have been so bold as to throw in a light show for my troubles. It does mean there are more components to worry about getting lost, but I always appreciate a little novelty to appease parents, art students, and stoners alike.
Alternatively, you can rotate the body 360 degrees on its slide rail base, snapping the front to face downwards. This signals that you're done projecting and would like to listen to some music instead. The Harman Kardon speakers' sound quality is far better in larger projectors like the Aura US
